For being a “goal scorer”Kyrou can’t hit a spot

Post by ZouMiz2424 »

Constantly shoots the puck at the only spot that isn’t a goal. Just lift the puck you dick

I've been done with this idiot for a couple years now. He is such a soft, weak on the puck player. He constantly has chances to crush people and never touches them physically. Such a scared little coward [kittycat]. [fork] him. Trade for a bag of pucks.

When it was 4-0 I was actually watching him, his body language, he turned lackadaisical. there was a chance he had when it was 4-0 and I thought, that is not game 7 intensity. then I thought maybe I am being too critical.

Then he did it again, and I was like, oh he isn't a different player and I told Harry he was. From that point on the game proceeded. I would like to now retract my endorsement that he is a different player and say that he looks like the same player as he's been. Which is a pretty good one of whom people can make strident arguments in favor. But also and most meaningfully, the kind great players use as foils and fodder.

I'm not laying the blame for this loss on him, let others call out the many other culprits and I can agree. but he was a nonzero part of it. I'm disgusted with this game and I really needed something to go right because I'm dealing with some real adversity this week personally. so whatever, I'm not going to rage post at what is clearly looking like a lottery team. I guess things will get better in multiple ways so I'm going to focus on that. Right now these guys have a lot of searching themselves to do, and Armstrong has to ask himself some hard questions about who they chose to keep and pursue. I'm still excited about the draft picks but after this week and this game I'm untethered from that feeling. I hope all the Blues fans have a good night

Another bash Kyrou thread. Neat. When does Binner get some responsibility for this mess. Oh that’s right it’s always someone else.

Another 15 minute game. Walker with as much ES time.

Trade/market value must be so low

When things are going good, Kyrou coasts. When things don't start off so well, he quits.When the physicality amps up, he disappears.

I think that pretty much sums it up.

If I’m being totally objective……I’d have to agree with that 100%. He has star-level talent and waiver wire heart.

Close. It’s always Kyrou regardless. Aren’t you familiar with the mantra in this town? Bleed all over ‘em, let ‘em know you’re there!

Monty has stated that it is the same thing, the same mistakes, the same bad habits - that plagued the team when he came on board. What is the connective tissue? It needs to be someone who was here at that time and receives significant ice time.

Ladies and gentlemen one the main soldiers of the “every time we lose it’s Kyrou’s fault” army. When does Binner get blame? Parayko? Thomas? Aren’t they leaders by payroll?

I am being serious. What shot was he really responsible for, other than DeBrincat's?

Even the DeBrincat goal was poor effort by the skaters in front of him - that's mainly the Blues skaters letting one of Detroit's best goal scorers skate in the zone at full speed, cross the middle to the slot wide open and then allow a sniper to go to a goal scorer's zone unabated for an uncontested shot.

But the other goals? Crazy deflections and a pass across the crease to a wide open winger on the PP. Those happen when skaters allow the opposition to control the puck and get in position.

1. Good teams control the puck when you have a lead, get the puck in deep, pin the zone, check and tire the other team out, and even add to their lead if the other opponent scores a goal or two.

2. Bad teams cede possession of the puck, don't block shots or shot pathways. Allow the other team to get the puck in deep, allow the other team to get in position in front of the net, don't check, don't skate and turn the puck over in the neutral zone. And allow the other team to score 6 unanswered, with a single response in anyway shape or form.

Guess which one we were?

Thomas? Buch? Parayko? All those guys fit the bill as well, but yet people keep going to the same guy. I’m not saying Kyrou doesn’t have things to work on, they all do, yet he is the one that gets all the blame.

Well…Binnington has had above a .901 SV% once over the past 4 years.

Binnington is a Rorschach test, you can frame him up any way you want, but I don't think he is part of the problem. While he hasn't been great so far, if he had been great, they would still be this same team doing what they're doing. I don't see the Blues skaters firing on all cylinders and Binnington letting them down
